ICLES Motilal Jhunjhunwala College Courses and Fees

ICLES’ Motilal Jhunjhunwala College offers 11 distinct programmes across Arts, Science, Commerce, Mass Media, and Financial Management disciplines, covering undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral levels. Aided programmes carry a fee structure governed by University of Mumbai and the Maharashtra government, resulting in costs well below the market rate for comparable private colleges.

Self-financed programmes (BMM, BBI, BFS) offer career-oriented curricula in media, banking, and financial services, and are targeted at students seeking vocational and industry-relevant undergraduate degrees beyond the traditional BA, B.Sc, and B.Com tracks. The college’s dedicated Zoology department supports the full BA-to-Ph.D academic ladder in the life sciences.

ICLES Motilal Jhunjhunwala College Admission Process

UG Admission (BA, B.Sc, B.Com)

Admission to aided undergraduate programmes at ICLES is merit-based, governed entirely by the University of Mumbai’s centralised online admissions portal. No separate entrance exam is required for these aided streams.

• Eligibility for BA and B.Com: 10+2 pass from a recognised board in any stream
• Eligibility for B.Sc: 10+2 with Science stream (PCM for Math and Computer Science streams; PCB for Biotechnology, Botany, Zoology)
• Application: Online at the University of Mumbai portal during the June to July window
• Merit list: Published by the college based on aggregate percentage in relevant subjects at 12th
• Document verification and fee payment: In person at the college on the designated dates after merit list publication

First-year merit cutoffs at ICLES for B.Sc Computer Science and Information Technology typically range between 75% and 90% in the PCM group, reflecting strong demand for these science streams in Navi Mumbai. BA and B.Com cutoffs are generally more accessible and vary by subject. Candidates from reserved categories receive the benefit of their category-specific cutoff relaxations as per Maharashtra government norms.

Self-Financed Programmes (BMM, BBI, BFS)

BMM, BBI, and BFS admissions follow a separate college-level process. Eligibility requires 10+2 from a recognised board with no stream restriction. Candidates apply directly to ICLES and are shortlisted based on 12th marks and subject performance. A personal interaction round may be conducted for final selection in programmes with limited seats.

PG and Research Admission (MA, M.Com, M.Sc, Ph.D)

PG admissions (MA, M.Com, M.Sc Zoology) are conducted through the University of Mumbai’s centralised PG portal, with eligibility tied to graduation marks in the relevant subject. Ph.D admission in Zoology requires an M.Sc (Zoology) degree with a minimum 55% aggregate, along with a valid research entrance such as NET, SET, or the University of Mumbai’s Ph.D entrance test, followed by a research proposal interview with the Zoology department guide.

ICLES Motilal Jhunjhunwala College Campus and Infrastructure

The campus is located at Sector 9A, Amlendu Roy Marg, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, within close proximity to Vashi railway station on the Harbour Line. The location gives students direct rail access to Andheri, Kurla, CSMT, Thane, and other hubs across the Mumbai metropolitan area.

Campus facilities include a central library, computer laboratories, chemistry and life science laboratories, and a cafeteria. The dedicated Zoology research facility supports M.Sc and Ph.D research activity in the life sciences. Sports infrastructure supports India Culture League’s founding emphasis on character development and physical culture alongside academics, with students participating in university-level competitions in cricket, football, athletics, and indoor games.

Cultural activities are integral to the ICLES tradition, with annual events and inter-collegiate competitions hosted on campus throughout the academic year. The college does not offer hostel accommodation. The Vashi station proximity and well-connected local transport make daily commuting practical for students from across Navi Mumbai, Thane, and Mumbai.

ICLES Motilal Jhunjhunwala College vs D.Y. Patil College vs Pillai College

Students in Navi Mumbai and the surrounding region shortlisting arts, science, and commerce undergraduate colleges often compare ICLES with D.Y. Patil College of Arts, Commerce and Science (Nerul, Navi Mumbai) and Pillai College of Arts, Science and Commerce (Rasayani, Raigad), both University of Mumbai-affiliated institutions serving similar demographics.

ICLES leads clearly on cost: its government-aided fee structure places it among the most affordable degree options in Navi Mumbai for BA, B.Sc, and B.Com programmes. D.Y. Patil (Nerul) and Pillai (Rasayani) are unaided colleges with higher fees but potentially broader infrastructure. Pillai has hostel facilities and a larger campus, which may suit outstation students. For students from the Navi Mumbai area who are fee-sensitive and prefer a well-established Mumbai University-affiliated college, ICLES is consistently a strong option at the UG level.
